I think I understand this but would like some help straightening these dates out....
In the 1860 Aarhus Census:
Niels Frederick Faxholm is listed as 22 years of age
Folketælling: 1860 By: Århus Købstad Herred: Hasle Amt: Århus
Gadenavn: Spanien Husnr: 946a
Navn: Niels Frederik Faxholm
Alder: 22
Civilstand: ugift
Fødested: [Aarhuus]
Stilling: Snedkersvend
Noter:
That being the case his birth would be about 1838 in Aarhus.
I searched the Aarhus records and found his birth entry at AO Aarhus Domsogn Hasle Aarhus 1838-1843 opslag 14 pg 11 #66. It appears to me to be an add-in and posted late.
When I review the page I note that the født dagen is given as "d. 30de Oct" and follows the entries for December and is the last entry before the start of the 1839 entries.
There is some additional verbiage beneath the date entry. I am assuming that it indicates that the entry was posted in 1839, possibly at the time of his baptism as I read that as the 28th of July 1839.
Therefore my assumptions are: Birth: 30 Oct 1838 and baptism: 28 July 1839 both in Aarhus Domsogn.
Would someone please review this entry and tell me if my thinking is correct?
Thank you....

You´re right. The note under his birth is that he is reported to the church as born in 1839. Normally it had to be done right after the birth.
+ reported in june 1839
I appreciate your help and input and I just located the birth and death of his namesake brother who was born and died in the years just prior 1837-1838.
The first Niels Frederik Faxholm was born on what appears as the 7th of Feb 1837 and died the 14th of Jan 1838.
The entries for this information are found at:
Birth: 1837 Birth Aarhus Domsogn Hasle Aarhus 1838-1843 img 69 pg 66 #44
Death: 1838 Death Aarhus Domsogn Hasle Aarhus 1838-1843 img 274 pg 323 #2
The Birth entry has what I am assuming is again an editorial comment....could you please take a look at this new Birth opslag and "this comment" and provide me with the Danish/English information?...Again Thank you.
Birth: Reported 9th of Sept. because of smallpox
He is born the 7th of Feb 1837 and died the 14th of Jan 1838, Burial 18th of Jan 1838.
Many parents recycled the names of dead children, because they were named after their grandparents.
